To solve the problem in the circuit diagram provided:

### Given:
1. There is an 8 A current source with a 9 V drop across it.
2. A 9 V battery in parallel with the first voltage source.
3. A 2 A current source in parallel with a resistor across which the current \( I \) and voltage 3 V are to be determined.
4. A 6 V battery is also present.

### Steps to Solve:

1. **Apply Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL):**
   - The total current entering a node is equal to the total current leaving the node.

   For the top node:
   \[
   8 \text{ A} = 2 \text{ A} + I
   \]
   This implies:
   \[
   I = 6 \text{ A}
   \]

2. **Determine the Power Absorbed by Each Element:**

   - **Current Source (8 A, 9 V):**
     \[
     P = VI = 9 \text{ V} \times 8 \text{ A} = 72 \text{ W}
     \]
     The current source is delivering 72 W of power.

   - **Voltage Source (9 V, connected across both branches):**
     Since it is connected directly across the branches, the current through it is zero because it's an ideal voltage source in parallel with the others. Thus, it does not absorb power.

   - **Current Source (2 A, in the right branch):**
     \[
     P = VI = 9 \text{ V} \times 2 \text{ A} = 18 \text{ W}
     \]
     The 2 A current source absorbs 18 W of power.

   - **Resistor (with voltage 3 V and current I = 6 A):**
     \[
     P = VI = 3 \text{ V} \times 6 \text{ A} = 18 \text{ W}
     \]
     The resistor absorbs 18 W of power.

   - **Voltage Source (6 V):**
     The voltage drop across this source is 6 V, and the current \( I = 6 \text{ A} \) flows through it:
     \[
     P = VI = 6 \text{ V} \times 6 \text{ A} = 36 \text{ W}
     \]
     The 6 V voltage source absorbs 36 W of power.

### Summary:
- \( I = 6 \) A
- Power absorbed:
  - 8 A current source: 72 W
  - 9 V voltage source (in the middle): 0 W (doesn't absorb any power)
  - 2 A current source: 18 W
  - Resistor: 18 W
  - 6 V voltage source: 36 W

Would you like more details, or do you have any other questions?

### Follow-up Questions:
1. How would you calculate the power absorbed if the 9 V source had a non-zero internal resistance?
2. What happens to the power calculation if the current sources were reversed in direction?
3. How would the circuit analysis change if the 6 V source was replaced by a 6 V current source?
4. Can you determine the resistance of the resistor from the given values?
5. What would be the effect on the circuit if an additional resistor was placed in series with the 6 V voltage source?

### Tip:
Always verify the directions of currents and polarities of voltages to ensure consistency when applying Kirchhoff's laws.
